i say do whatever you think will make your car looks its best. i think pre98 with svt kit look very nice. i think post 98 w/out the kit look kinda

so i say add one if you can.
as for streetracing, winning/losing...there are plenty of cars nowadays that would show up to a streetrace and spank a csvt, even if its somewhat built. the only chance it really has is adding FI, nitrous, or a 3L with some mods. and im talking about
real streetracers, not just kids with civics with fartcans and intake. im hoping the 3L im building, with supporting parts, will be able to hold its own out there.
